Dorsal midline urethral incision (DUMI), with dartos flip flap or tunica vaginalis coverage is an appropriate procedure to repair midline and proximal urethral fistulas.
Endovascular stent graft repair for the treatment of dissecting thoracic aneurysms is emerging as a safe, minimally invasive and attractive alternative to surgery. This article aims to highlight the importance of computer tomography (C.T ) angiography as a non invasive imaging modality in the diagnoses of thoracic dissecting aneurysms in patients with widened mediastinum post trauma and its role in the pre-endovascular stent work up for the treatment of thoracic dissecting aneurysms. The major limitations for the use of endovascular stent graft repair are discussed. A comparison of endovascular stent graft vs surgery is reviewed looking at long and short term morbidity. The complications of endovascular stent graft repair are also highlighted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
